Wynonna's P.O.V.
I was woken up by my phone alarm. I turned it off but didn't get out of bed. Not everyone on the team knows what day it is. I know I probably should tell them but it's a day I don't particularly like to talk about. Wally calls today my 'Earthday', it's basically a birthday but it's the day I came to earth. So we also use it as a birthday, I turn 16 today. My Earthday always reminds me of what I've lost. Most kids spend days like this with their parents but me, I can't even remember my last birthday with my parents. It's been 10 years, 10 years trying to prove to everyone that I'm worthy of these powers and that my parents didn't make a mistake by saving me.
I stayed in bed for another 20 minutes before getting up and dressed. I changed into a pair of army green biker jeans, a pair of mid-calf boots, and a light grey t-shirt. I loosely tied my boots up before briefly running a brush through my hair. I connected my wireless headphones to my phone before leaving my room.
Music filled my ears as I began walking to the hanger. I walked into the kitchen to see the entire team sitting in there. I didn't acknowledge anyone as I walked through the room. Just before I got to the door I heard M'ganns voice in my head
"Earth to Wynonna…" I stopped and turned as I took my headphones off. I looked at M'gann and said
"Can you do me a favour? Just for today please, please stay the hell out of my head" I caught a glimpse of the hurt look on her face and the shocked look on Connors, Artemis and Zatannas faces as I turned to leave the room. As I pulled my headphones back on I heard Wally's voice
"She doesn't mean anything bad by it, M'gann…" I didn't catch the end of his sentence as my music blocked out everything around me and a single tear fell down my face. I wiped it away and proceeded to head to one of the hangers.
Entering the hanger I flipped the light switch and one by one the lights revealed the old car I salvaged from a junkyard a few years ago. Well, I say car, it was just a pile of scraps when I found it. I've been teaching myself how to rebuild it from the ground up; It's a 1969 Camaro SS. I managed to keep it a secret for a while until Roy found it one day when he was visiting me. It was easy to hide things when it was just me here, not that I'm complaining, I like having M'gann and Connor living here; I'm not on my own anymore.
Anyway, back to reality. I plugged my phone into the hangers speaker system and started playing some music. From there I picked up the Workshop Rolling board and the toolbox before heading over to the car. I placed the board on the floor and then laid on it to get comfortable. I grabbed the needed tool and rolled under the car and got to work.

With a groan, I rolled over in bed and reached out for my phone. I propped myself up on my elbow and rubbed my eyes as I looked at the caller ID
"Do you have any idea what time it is West!"
"Yeah, it's a normal time to get out of bed. Late-night?"
"Yes! Now, what do you want?!"
"Checked your calendar recently?"
"Been a bit busy"
"November 15th"
"Isn't for a few we…" he cut me off immediately
"Today is November 15th" I sighed and said
"Oh fuck…"
"Yeah, she snapped at M'gann this morning and has been locked in the garage all day. She won't talk to me, she won't talk to Dick and she won't talk to Dinah so…" I sat up in my bed and cut him off by saying
"I'll be there soon"

Recognised Red Arrow B06
Within seconds of my stepping out of the zeta tube, Wally was in front of me with a mug in hand
"Thought you could use this" I took the mug and said
"Thanks. Is she still in the hanger?"
"Yep, not even sure if she has eaten anything today. She not even acknowledging us" We began walking towards the kitchen as I said
"I mean can you blame her. Also, why did you call today Earthday?" He just shrugged in response.
As we entered the kitchen Wally said
"The cavalry has arrived" Everyone turned to look at me as Artemis spoke
"What are you doing here?" I took a sip of my coffee and said
"They don't know?" Dick scratched the back of his neck and said
"It's never really come up" I leant against the counter and said
"So much for trust" as I took another sip of my coffee M'gann spoke
"Is this about Wynonna?" I pushed off the counter and said
"I'll leave you boys to explain this" and with that, I left the kitchen and headed to the hanger I knew Wynonna was in.
I walked into the hanger only to see Wynonna underneath the old car and music blaring in the room. I didn't say anything as I walked over to the workbench. I leant up against it as I paused the music.
"Go away, Roy!"
"Hello to you too, Kid" She rolled out from under the car and as she walked over to the hood she said
"I'm really not in the mood" I put my mug down and walked over to the car whilst saying
"You never are"
I put my hands on the car and simply said
"Wynonna…" She stopped what she was doing and took a shaky breath before looking up. Her eyes flashed red and yellow slightly causing me to say
"Okay, then let's keep you distracted" She stood up straight before saying
"There's something else" I just raised an eyebrow at her. She walked away from the car and back over to her phone. As she came back over she handed her phone over and said
"My latest blood work came back" I took the phone and looked at the results on the screen. It took a second to realise but when I did I said
"Is this real?" She leant up against the car beside me and said
"They ran the test multiple times, it's legit"
"Jesus and today of all days
"10 years of trying to prove who I am and I don't even know who I am"
"Don't say th…" She cut me off by saying
"I'm half-human, Roy. All this time. I don't know who I am. Everything about me is changing and… and I'm scared"
